Description Vladimir Piskarev CLA 2017-10-06 09:27:49 EDT 
Need to provide a generic way to create model element handles. The new API should support creating the element handle from its stable string representation ("memento"). It should also support creating the element handle from its corresponding IResource handle.
Comment 1 Vladimir Piskarev CLA 2017-10-06 10:19:22 EDT 
It should be an option, not a requirement for a Handly-based model to implement the new API. Also, the implementation, if provided by the model, could support either or both create methods (from memento or IResource) as the model sees fit.
Comment 2 Vladimir Piskarev CLA 2017-10-06 11:03:24 EDT 
Pushed to master:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/handly/org.eclipse.handly.git/commit/?id=bb6866e48599ba4c7e10260e419d3e4f6bfd1e95

New API:

* IElementHandleFactory

* Elements#getHandleMemento(IElement)

Also included are exemplary implementations of the new API (see FooElementHandleFactory and JavaElementHandleFactory).
